Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)
Commonly called "hay fever," allergic rhinitis is an irritation of the nose, where the inside of the nose becomes inflamed after being exposed to an allergic trigger. Symptoms
include nasal congestion, running nose, sneezing, itching, and/or watery eyes. Allergic rhinitis may be associated with sinusitis. Diagnostic evaluation is aimed at
identifying (and often eliminating) the cause of allergy. Symptoms are controlled with topical and systemic medications, and in some cases, allergy injections may be helpful.
